Today was one of the days I had with my children and I couldn't even finish it because of this feeling this persistent unease. I know I keep saying that I'm at my breaking point how can I be this creature ? I feel like I'm about to jump out of my skin from just being so uncomfortable in it. I literally don't feel pleasure anything . Just so so lost. And lonely.

I'm sorry you're having such difficulty, Hbomb! You mentioned that this was one of the days you had with your children. Are you recently separated or divorced? If so, there is little doubt that this will affect your self-image for quite a while. Beyond that, of course, mental illnesses in general aren't known for their positive effects on sufferers' self images.
Hopefully you're getting some therapy to help you to feel better about yourself. There are also such things as DBT classes, meditation, relaxation exercises, etc. that can be beneficial. Physical exercise can also be helpful.
But the important thing is to develop a plan to address the dissatisfaction you are experiencing. It's probably not likely that these feelings are going to go away by themselves leaving you feeling fine again. You must come up with a plan for overcoming it. Here again, this is something a therapist should be able to help you with. Best wishes.
